- All 15 of 15 homilies on the Epistle to the Philippians, transcribed from the CCEL ThML transcription of NPNF1-13, which holds Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, and Philemon inside one flat div1/div2 sequence — this build locates Philippians and Colossians by their own printed div2 titles ("Homilies on Philippians.", "Homilies on Colossians."), never by position, and reads neither Galatians/Ephesians nor Thessalonians/Timothy/Titus/Philemon. A mandatory transcription-integrity audit ran first: a probe-walk word-count audit against the dated Internet Archive scan's OCR, calibrated with a positive control (700 words excised, confirmed detected before trusting any clean result), found zero confirmed real holes across all 27 Philippians+Colossians divisions after every residual chain-boundary/repeated-quotation suspect was individually verified present in CCEL by direct text lookup, not merely dismissed by scale. The scan used for this audit is a 1956 photolithoprint of the same 1889-1890 typeset text (Cushing-Malloy, Ann Arbor, for Wm. B. Eerdmans) rather than a first printing; it carries no copyright notice of its own, a second scan of the identical physical copy was independently reviewed by Internet Archive's own rights team and marked not in copyright, and a direct text fingerprint against this build's CCEL source confirmed it transcribes this exact printing. A structural census (15 Philippians "Homily N" divisions I-XV, 12 Colossians "Homily N" divisions I-XII, each found generically rather than assumed positional) confirms no gaps, duplicates, or fusion. Two small, disclosed corrections to CCEL's own source text: a stray straight quotation mark normalized to match the volume's curly-quote convention, and a broken SGML-entity artifact confined entirely to an editorial endnote (discarded with the note, never transcribed). Doxology endings vary in three genuine printed forms ("...Amen.", the abbreviated "...&c." — once doubled, "...&c. &c." — and the fuller "...world without end." without "Amen") plus one individually verified division whose doxology is simply cut shorter in print; all confirmed against the scan, not transcription losses. The work's own text only — Schaff/Broadus's editorial footnotes are not transcribed. Philippians' own prefatory "Introductory Discourse" (an editorial argument-essay, not a numbered homily — no printed "Homily N." heading, no pericope) is excluded on the same basis every other title-page/preface/argument division has been excluded across this Chrysostom sequence.

- A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume XIII, "Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, and Philemon" — pre-1930 US publication (1889-1890; the Philippians/Colossians/Thessalonians revision is credited in the volume's own contents page to Rev. John A. Broadus, D.D., who died in 1895, and a Library of Congress classification card reproduced in the front matter reads "BR 60 .S4 1890"), term long expired; the underlying Oxford Translation is likewise long expired. The dated Internet Archive scan used to audit this build (selectlibraryofn13auguuoft, Kelly Library, University of Toronto) is itself a 1956 photolithographic reprint rather than a first printing — its own OCR text carries no copyright notice anywhere, a second Internet Archive scan of the identical physical copy (same call number) was independently reviewed by Internet Archive's own rights-evidence process and marked "possible-copyright-status: NOT_IN_COPYRIGHT" ("no visible notice of copyright and date found; stated date is 1956; ... a copyright renewal record could not be found"), and as a mechanical photographic reproduction of already-published, public-domain 1889-1890 plates it carries no independent copyrightable authorship regardless. A direct text fingerprint (Philippians Homily I's opening quotation) matches this build's CCEL source word-for-word against the scan's OCR, confirming the CCEL file transcribes this exact printing.
